Question 72

An industrial kiln's control system modulates the internal temperature, TnT_nTn​ in degrees Celsius, at discrete time steps nnn. The temperature sequence T1,T2,T3,…T_1, T_2, T_3, \dotsT1​,T2​,T3​,… is defined by

Tn+1=1800−Tn T_{n+1} = 1800 - T_n Tn+1​=1800−Tn​

where T1=850T_1 = 850T1​=850 is the initial temperature reading.

Find the value of

a.

(i) T2T_2T2​

(ii) T121T_{121}T121​

[3]
b.

∑n=140(0.1Tn+5)\sum_{n=1}^{40} (0.1T_n + 5)∑n=140​(0.1Tn​+5)
